Armenia’s bid for promotion to League B in the UEFA Nations League has officially ended following a 1-1 draw with Cyprus, confirming their status in League C for another cycle.
Armenia’s hopes for promotion in the UEFA Nations League have been dashed following a 1-1 draw against Cyprus on Thursday. This result confirms that Armenia will remain in League C for another cycle, finishing third in Group C2 with five points. With a maximum potential score of eight points, Armenia’s inability to secure a victory leaves them trailing behind Cyprus, which has already accumulated eight points and holds a crucial head-to-head tiebreaker after their earlier win against Armenia in October.
As the standings currently reflect, Montenegro and Cyprus have secured their places at the top of the group. The group winner automatically advances to League B, while the runner-up enters a playoff for potential promotion. Armenia, however, faces a challenging path ahead, having gone four matches without a win since their opening victory against Latvia.
The teams are set to meet again on Sunday in Riga at 9 a.m. ET, marking the conclusion of group play. Fans will be looking for a strong performance from Armenia as they seek to end their campaign on a positive note.
